ready2cruzagain Posted February 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Does anyone know the price of the self serve beer on the Sunshine currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladygal4.4 Posted February 20, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I want to say 4.95 and 6.95?? But don't hold me to it. I do know that whatever you choose, you can overpour and be charged a higher price. I was walking by the station and heard someone complain to the staff that they had a higher price on the SnS card. And the machine won't operate until 9 am. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog73 Posted February 20, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It is so much an ounce. I just can't remember the price per ounce. I used a 24oz tervis cup and filled it all the way up. It seemed like a good deal but it was not very cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL_Miami_Cruiser Posted February 20, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I was on Sunshine 2 weeks ago and I remember it was $3 something. Could have been $3.25 or $3.95, I was too drunk to read and didn't care :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbea11 Posted February 20, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It was almost $4 and it stops itself we were never charged more nor was it per oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog73 Posted February 20, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It was almost $4 and it stops itself we were never charged more nor was it per oz We Mr Know It All, I just found my pics and Red Frog was $4 and Bud Light $3.95. It said "up to 14oz" but it never stopped for me obviously since I filled up a 24oz tervis cup. Oh buy the way, the sign also clearly stated under the price it was $.29oz for red Frog and $.28oz for Bud Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slwillwin Posted February 20, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Is this on every ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin_Sea Posted February 21, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Is this on every ship? No... sailed Splendor last July, it didn't have it. Might be available on the ships with the 2.0 -which Sunshine has..... but not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHilla619 Posted February 21, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hmmm very interesting, I didn't even know this existed and I will be on Sunshine in August. Sounds like a much cheaper way to drink beer all cruise, may make me not do cheers. When you swipe your card do they add gratuity? I hope not since your serving yourself.

old crusier Posted February 21, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2016 yes tip is added , someone has to put the glasses out there and wash them . I was actually more surprised they were added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiowilly Posted February 21, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2016 prices during our cruise a couple weeks ago were $3.95 for Bud Light, I believe, and $4 for Red Frog Ale. However, it appeared that the beer taps dispensed about as often as the slot machines. I heard numerous people complaining that they had swiped their card, but gotten no beer. It doesn't appear to be a very functional system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRocks Posted February 21, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It was almost $4 and it stops itself we were never charged more nor was it per oz Ditto, not only does it shut off @ 14oz, it also has a timer + shuts off after so many seconds regardless of amount dispensed. Got off Sunshine last month, used it many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13cheermom Posted February 21, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) yes tip is added , someone has to put the glasses out there and wash them . I was actually more surprised they were added. This must be something new about the tip added? I went back and looked at my sail & sign bill and everytime my husband purchased one there was never a tip added. We sailed on the Sunshine back in October 2015, has this changed maybe? It's kinda crazy to charge auto tip for this since you are serving yourself. We never had any bad experiences with using it, since my husband likes Bud Lite, it was convenient for him to just go fill up when he wanted to. We are going again on the Sunshine in April, guess we will see if this has changed. Edited February 21, 2016 by 13cheermom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaderdogmom Posted February 21, 2016 #18 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Just off the Sunshine today. DH got the Thirsty Frog Red. Sign at the dispenser says $4.00 but sign $ sail card said $5.00. Went to guest services and they said $5.00 is with the gratuity. DH kinda po'd as he served himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not tip the people who wash and put out the glass. You tip the person who serves you. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise, J.D. Posted February 22, 2016 #22 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Really...a 25% gratuity for a self served beer? Interesting. Yes it is. That is more than the auto gratuity applied to other drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it wasn't added to the charge back in October when we last sailed the Sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it wasn't added to the charge back in October when we last sailed the Sunshine. I agree. Self Serve is Self Serve...why in the world would I pay a gratuity for "self serve". If it is because someone has to wash the glasses or set them out as someone else stated then that is ridiculous and would be double dipping because that should be part of the daily gratuity that is already charged.
